TERRA SANCTA ESTATE PINOT NOIR 2016

Winery notes (2016 Vintage)
"​A truly exciting wine. Handpicked from the same blocks that produce our rare single block wines (Slapjack Block, Jackson's Block, Shingle Beach) as well from a few other select vines on the estate, this is the truest expression of the soul of the vineyard. The fragrance is direct from the lavender and thyme that ribbon the vineyard. The flavours are luxurious dark cherries, fresh raspberries, and first picked plums, the finish long and silky."

5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2017 (2015 Vintage)
"Elegant and stylish, this attractive pinot displays dark cherry, warm spice, dried herb, game and cedar aromas on the nose, leading to a beautifully weighted palate that is elegant and silky. The wine offers delightful fruit flavours together with subtle savoury notes, finishing persistent and engaging. At its best: now to 2020."

4 1/2 Stars Cuisine Pinot Noir Tasting, April 2017 (2015 Vintage)
"Another quality drop from this well established, accomplished Bannockburn winery. Attractive floral and spice scents presage a vibrant mouthful with layers of fruit and tannin and a sinewy texture. An ample, harmonious expression and a fine advertisement for the advantages of old vine fruit and a great site. This is another wine that has been built to last; give it another three to four years at least."

4 Stars Michael Cooper (2015 Vintage)
"The 2015 vintage was estate-grown at Bannockburn and matured in French oak barrels (10 per cent new). Bright ruby, it is a graceful, savoury, supple red, with ripe cherry, plum, spice and nut flavours, showing good complexity, and a finely textured, harmonious finish. Drink now or cellar."
